Hey Hoyle00,

Your profile did not indicate that you had entered all of your videos into the catalog (see VCA Rules #2). This is also a way for members to "opt out" of the VCA. This means that a member may choose not to participate even though they have entered all of their videos.

There will be a round of category nominations. Category suggestions will be given by members of AnimeMusicVideos.org. After the category suggestions have been collected (deadline listed below), the final category selection will be the sole judgment of the AnimeMusicVideos.org staff.



Anyone mind telling me what that means? Im confused :?

It means that the selections of categories to nominate videos for is up to Phade and the staff of the org (presumably the mods).

No, it means the actual list of videos that are eligible for awards is up.

The list are all the videos that satisfies the selection criteria which is explained in the rules that has been posted for the last month. If a video isn't on the list then it broke one of the rules or something is wrong.

Click Viewer Choice Awards on the main page to see the list and the categories for this year.

Personally, hosting is going to be a problem for some.

Those who get nominated may not have their videos up for download while others got them either via CD trade in person or by internet via creator.

Choosing a winner there would be very difficult. Unless the creator gives info on how to contact them for the amvs that are competing in a category....


Is this making any sense?? :oops:

Yeah - and the same problem happened last year.

However, it essentially comes down to this:


There are 1500 videos - nobody can watch them all (hosting or no) so initial nominations will just be for videos people have already seen.

The when the top 4 or whatever it is comes for each category there will be much fewer videos and at this point people seek out hosting for the videos and a lot of people do get temporary hosting so people can judge the finalists.

The of course if people hurry up and donate huge wads of cashe the org could possibly host the finalists :)

Yeah I understand, the problem i guess was that i was too stupid to figure out how to actually add my video into this catalog, I thought the system itself was the catalog.

I wasn't aware that there was a way to viod your own participation from the contest, so when i asked around i was told each vid is sorta automatically entered. My bad I apologize.

*rises from the dead*

Phade,

When/Where do you suggest we "remind" people that our videos exists so people remember them when voting? Last year a lot of people had opinions the vid I made that was nominated, but this year my vids have been a little sluggish in the opinions category (I guess that's what I get for making vids using series' that were still in Japan!)

Thanks!

To the best of my knowledge, my videos were qualified...unless I misunderstood something in the rules. Or maybe I'm looking in the wrong place.

I was just wondering about that.

Hi, I'm fairly new on the AMV scene and I was checking out most of the videos that can be nominated especially the ramance side. anyways, I found a video I think was really good. Just curious if you all would look at it and tell me what you think, that way I can tell if I'm a good judge of quality before I nominate it hehe. oh yeah it's called Does it all matter, I think... and it's by Acend(Michael Wayland) I geuss that should be enough for you to find it. If you wanna reach me, just post a reply here. Thanks

I was curious about something, and this seemed the place to go.

I was wondering how many nominations a video needs before it is placed in the running. Because it occured to me that if everyone votes for their own video, among others of course, then the entire catalogue will be placed into the running, rendering the whole idea of nominating videos pointless (I am operating under the assumption that many people will vote for at least themselves, hopefully others as well). So, if one nomination is all a video needs, then theoretically, there would be at least 9/10 of the catalogue in each category. Is it only the top 5-10 videos nominated that qualify for the final rounds, or is it videos that reach a certain number of nomnations, lets say 50?

Thanks for humoring my cluelessness.

Go ahead and nominate it if you feel it is worthy of being in the running.

Hey Chaos Angel.

If everyone only nominated their own video for each category, all videos would have only one nomination vote. But, if only a few people venture out and nominate someone else's videos, then the better videos would receive more nominations than others.

VCA Rules wrote:Rule #10: There will be a round of video nominations for each category (deadline listed below). The top videos (usually 5) to receive the most nominations for each category will be eligible for the award for that category. A video may be for nominated zero or more categories.

This means that all nominations will be collected, the number of nominations will be counted for each video, the list will be ordered from most to least number of nominations collected, and the top 5 (maybe 6, maybe 4) videos will be in the final round of voting for each category.

I hope this clears it up. Thanks again and have fun!! ^_^

Ah. I missed that. ::baka moment:: Thanks.

And I know I am voting for more than my own videos, I assume others are as well, I was simply speaking hypothetically. God, if no one voted for a video that wasn't their's the VCAs would suck.
